Time Before Time

Time Before Time was the most successful TVB series released in Hong Kong in 1997, the year that Hong Kong was transferred back to China. The series stars Gordon Lam and Kathy Chow with the storyline dealing greatly with the themes of fate, love and traditional Chinese supernatural beliefs.

Directed by Yeung Kam Tsuen, Time Before Time leans on a strong ensemble — Kathy Chow Hoi-Mei, Gordon Lam Ka-Tung, Florence Kwok Siu-Wan — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The series landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 1997.
